Aproveitar o carbono: o ambicioso plano europeu de gestão do carbono industrial

A estratégia de gestão do carbono industrial da UE tem como objetivo a neutralidade climática até 2050, visando inovações na captura e utilização de carbono (CCU), na captura e armazenamento de carbono (CCS) e no transporte de CO2 através de uma rede de 19 000 km. Esta abordagem transformadora, que promove uma cadeia de valor do carbono, poderá gerar entre 45 e 100 mil milhões de euros e criar entre 75 000 e 170 000 postos de trabalho até 2030, posicionando simultaneamente a UE como líder mundial em tecnologias de gestão do carbono. A estratégia coloca a tónica no investimento, na I&D, na participação do público, na cooperação internacional e no desenvolvimento regulamentar.
